    I'm hoping Mir chokes him out! But I honestly don't know what's gonna happen with this one, Lesnar's an animal

    don't reply with stupid comments? Its seems perfectly ok for you to make them though, Why would it take credit away from MMA? Why would it be the "most important fight in MMA history"? Your whole thought process is flawed, Lesnar is a freak of nature and improving each fight. WWF wrestling is just basic training for MMA without the strikes it keeps you agile, active, and thinking so its not like he was a barber prior to entering MMA. With that said I don't thinkhe beats Mir, Mirs striking along with his confidence is much improved and he does have probably more power then anyone Lesnar has faced to date. I won't even talk about the ground game. I think the first fight Mir was pretty much, not scared but maybe unsure as to what Lesnar brings to the table. Now he knows and I don't think it scares him anymore. I think Mir KOs or subs him in the 2.

    Now way dude. Couture was handling Lesnar in the first round. I wouldn't call it manhadnling - but he was holding his own with the bigger man. Lesnar didn't start connecting until the second round.

    Lesnar makes the UFC alot of money. The only reason why he got a title shot was because of his name his size and the circus that surrounds a guy like Brock. Lets not kid ourselves here. Brock is talented and is an awesome physical specimen but a mixed martial artist he is not. The guys just trying to make a living. The UFC allowed him to do that and at the same time are making a shed load of money. When all is said and done il be very surprised if Lesnar will be remembered alongside MMA heavyweight greats other than for the freakshow circus he brought to the UFC.

    Il keep it real Bob Sapp may have done a faster job on Couture than Brock did.

    You mean Ken. And no Ken was a Mixed martial artist FIRST, long time before he came to the WWF. The only reason why he left the WWF was because he was a *****. He was making way more money with his dumb act than he ever did when he came back to the UFC. And to be perfectly honest wrestling these days in modern MMA doesnt mean **** all. Look at team Hammerhouse. A bunch of wrestlers and not one of them can fight worth a lick. Even guys like Matt Hughes and Frang Trigg have been found out. Stellar wrestlers but very poor at anything else.

    Lesnar is just so massive and strong....that he can overcome alot of technical deficiencies.
    Lesnar being successful in MMA is NOT detrimental to the sport at all...nor does it mean that alot of other guys from pro wrestling could achieve similar success.

    It is just that Lesnar is a physical phenominon...freak of nature.

    not many guys that big and strong with speed, explosiveness and athleticism.

    That being said....Mir wins by submission once again, albeit in a much longer fight.

    Possibly - but only if the pre-fight drug test didn't KO Sapp first.:lol:

    They are at home. I dont bring them out in public.

    The guy got KO'd by Liddell, retired, came back to get an undeserved HW title shot against Sylvia, he beat him in a UD, than he beat Gonzaga whos been losing to everybody. Those are his 2 HW opponents hes beaten. Does that seem very impressive to you? Than he retired again, and came back for the money to fight Lesnar in the "biggest fight in UFC history."

    At the end of the day, Couture was good but not a legend. Hes lost way, way too many fights.

    What? No its not.

    And Mirs striking is mediocre, the good thing is so is Lesnars. This fight will likely go to the ground, if not than both guys are as dumb as a sack of rocks.

    Mir caught life in there first bout with the knee bar. If Brock hadnt left his leg out there Mir would have been pounded into fine dust. Brock will be more cautious this time but he has to have the same approach as he did last time. As for Mirs striking puhlease. The dude was fighting a fossil. Good win excellent victory but Nog is a fossil. Id like to see him try his new found standup with Brock :lol: Lesnar will punch through his head and into the first row.

    Matt Hughes with his one-dimensional wrestling is still a top 5 WW. He was able to get Alves down and Koscheck wasnt even able to do that.

    And if Lesnar is not a "mixed martial artist" than what the hell does that say about the sport of MMA? Thats just embarassing that mixed martial artists are just getting beatdown by a freakshow.

    Lesnars definitely brought a circus act to MMA, its part of the reason why MMA fans are the dumbest fans on the planet. But Lesnar is not a total freakshow, hes only a partial one. He does have the athleticism and wrestling background to back it up in the cage.
